Thanks Lyn. You're making me feel even better about my purchase. I hope to post pictures soon. For the what it's worth, I'll be in Phoenix in early March. What part are you located? I think the group of us will be in Peoria?

Hey Steve, I believe that the new 1939 data will show a larger differential between the S/42 and Code 42. While the total 1939 production is about 119,400, the S/42 production was about 28,900 compared to 90,500 for the S/42.

Then after that is said and done, it is difficult to tell the proper ratio that presently exists.

I agree with Lyn when he claims the S/42 is tough to come by. In fact, it was the last of the 12 major Military Mauser Lugers I was able to find.

Now you feel even better!!!!
